When is the Coxo-Femoral Prosthesis Placed?

The coxo-femoral prosthesis is placed when the damage to the femoral joint is so deep that it significantly affects a person's quality of life
and when other treatments have failed.

The coxo-femoral prosthesis becomes necessary when you are affected by the following cases:

– Osteoarthritis
– Rheumatoid arthritis
– Fractures
– Osteonecrosis
– Post-traumatic arthritis caused by injuries
– Developmental dysplasia of the hip
– Primary bone cancer or metastases
– Deformation of the articulation
– Psoriatic arthritis

Many patients, due to pain and limitation of mobility, lose their independence. After fitting the coxo-femoral prosthesis, they experience a return of mobility and a reduction in pain, which allows them to return to daily activities and improve their quality of life.

Salus Hospital is known for its surgical team that has a long experience and deep knowledge in coxo-femoral joint surgery. Our surgeons are trained in prestigious international institutions and have performed hundreds of successful operations.
